  • I don’t get it. I go to Instagram a couple of times a day. I start scrolling. The third post is something I haven’t followed or liked. Then the fourth, and the fifth. So I close the app. I spend like 5 minuter there daily. The whole discover page is just filled with trash I have no interest for.

    Sure I enjoy climbing. But I don’t care for videos of people tying knots or lightly dressed chicks doing some low grade bouldering. Why does the app think it’s better than me?







  • A great example of how this class operates. Our foreign minister from the Labour party had to step down due to suspicions of providing her husband with inside information on government contracts to public traded companies. The husband bought stocks and they made some cash.

    The reward for this corruption is a new position as our ambassador to the US. She officially got the job two days ago.

    We have seen this upper class of politicians never having to stand responsible for their actions for some years now. On both sides.

    There’s no wonder people get desperate. The only solution they get provided is using their vote. And when they do use it they get called out for using it the “wrong” way.

    Either the current politicians fix their shit, or the people will topple them. It’s fairly predictable.


  • The rise of right wing parties might be a consequence of the left wings failure to govern.

    In Norway the Labour Party was the biggest party for decades. Now the party is infested with politicians using it for career paths to NGO’s or international organisations like UN and EU. The same party made for the labourers implements tax policies making it really hard to start industries.

    Money are being spent on the most incredible projects bearing no fruit for future generations.

    At a point people get fed up, and in desperation they have to vote further to the right. If you want less government spending on stupid projects you also have to get some fascism.

    The problem is not the right wing parties or stupid people. The problem is worthless left wing politicians not contributing positive to the nation.

    It saddens me.




  • You can live in this fantasy where Norway is without faults and a perfect Paradise as much as you want

    I don’t care.

    Anything happening in the UK and the US is happening in Norway. Just a little bit later. NPM is an unstoppable force at the moment.

    People are getting shafted by inflation right now, wages are stagnant and the rich are exporting their wealth to Swiss for tax evasion. Birth rates are down and gang violence is in the rise. The Police force are getting it’s back broken with reforms.

    Housing is soon unavailable for the upcoming generation without well funded parents.

    This Christmas the organizations providing gifts and food for the poor had record numbers of people queuing up.

    But hey. Look at this nice street in Stavanger.

    Living in Norway is nice. But the welfare state and stable foundation for a trustworthy political system is under huge stress. People should’t form their opinion of a country based of social media posts.

    You can browse the Norwegian subreddit if you want to know what’s moving behind the facade. Norway has good freedom of the press, so follow Norwegian news outlet as well. Even the state media covers scandals.



  • Way to go attacking me at the end there.

    The electrical grid needs a balanced energy. When everyone now goes apeshit on wind because of the subsidies we basically fuck ourselves over big time. When it stops blowing in Germany it doesn’t blow in Norway. Most of the wind is generated by high pressure on the Atlantic and low pressure over Europe. The most common wind direction is from the ocean.

    Huge oil companies goes all in on wind. Can you guess why? When it doesn’t blow we have to burn gas.

    As of not selling us out to Europe. Guess which country has the most healthy fishing industry? You’re god damn right. We don’t want EU’s short sighted policies bankrupt us. EU countries are queuing up to fish us dry as they fished their own waters dry.

    Labeling me as some kind of extremist because I want to conserve the climate and environment is pretty rad.
